The knee can be injured by overextending the knee or with twisting motions. Injury may also occur simply over time with use. It is common for the ligaments and meniscus (cartilage) be injured. Micro-tearing and inflammation can occur, which then can lead to scar tissue formation. Overusing muscles that control the knee can overload the tendons, which may cause inflammation and scar tissue to form.

Physical therapy and chiropractic treatment break up the scar tissue formation allowing the tissues to do what they are supposed to do, support and move the knee without pain. Performance of correct exercises can then restore supportive muscles around the knee.Treatment at Chiropractic & Physical Therapy can reduce to a minimum or eliminate pain and restore function. Dr. Fischer will instruct you in simple exercises that will speed your recovery and prevent the problem from returning.
